Abstract

A connection structure of shower column systems includes fixing member, shower column body having containing cavity, connecting pipe communicating with water supply pipe, and hose in the containing cavity. The shower column body includes installation part having movement channel communicating with the containing cavity; the installation part is installed on the fixing member; the connecting pipe is in wall, an end thereof passes the movement channel to move axially; the hose communicates with water inlet of the shower column body and passes the movement channel to communicate with the connecting pipe. Flexible connection through the hose and connecting pipe makes more adjustment room than rigid connection. Distance between the connecting pipe and shower column body is adjusted by moving the connecting pipe in the movement channel. System adjustment and installation are quickly completed according to different depths of water supply pipes. Sealing performance of products wouldn't be influenced during adjusting.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A connection structure of a shower column system, comprising:
a fixing member which is provided on a wall;
a shower column body which has a containing cavity and further comprises an installation part, wherein the installation part has a movement channel which communicates with the containing cavity; a top end of the installation part is installed on the fixing member;
a connecting pipe which has one end communicating with a water supply pipe, wherein the connecting pipe is provided in the wall; another end of the connecting pipe passes in the movement channel to axially move within the movement channel; and
a hose which is located in the containing cavity, wherein the hose has one end which communicates with a water inlet of the shower column body; the hose further has another end which passes in the movement channel to communicate with the another end of the connecting pipe.

2. The connection structure of claim 1 , wherein the connecting pipe and the movement channel are matched with a clearance therebetween.

3. The connection structure of claim 1 , further comprising a connecter which has two ends which respectively communicate with the hose and the connecting pipe.

4. The connection structure of claim 3 , further comprising a tying member which fits around and tightly presses the hose and the connecter at a junction of the hose and the connecter.

5. The connection structure of claim 3 , further comprising a sealing member which is disposed between the connecter and the connecting pipe so as to ensure a sealing effect.

6. The connection structure of claim 1 , further comprising a sleeve which fits around a periphery of the installation part and is connected to the fixing member.

7. The connection structure of claim 6 , wherein the fixing member has a protrusion; a periphery of the protrusion is provided with an external thread, and an inner side of one end of the sleeve is provided with an internal thread which matches the external thread, so that the fixing member matches the sleeve through threads.

8. The connection structure of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member has a mounting hole; another end of the installation part inserts into the mounting hole.

9. The connection structure of claim 1 , wherein the shower column body comprises a support, an upper pipe for supplying water to a top nozzle, and a lower pipe; one end of the support is the installation part, and another end of the support is a ring section; the upper pipe and the lower pipe are connected to an upper end and a lower end of the ring section respectively; the containing cavity is provided within the lower pipe.

10. The connection structure of claim 1 , wherein the hose is made of PVC.
